Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 588

Even Howard found this very surprising as well, he knew a bit more than Hailey did. Harper's mother was a descendant of the
Qin Clan, and all of its members possessed magic power. From that piece of information, he concluded that Harper must have
inherited such magic power from the Qin Clan as well. After all, she had the blood of the Qin Clan flowing through her veins.
When Harper walked past Howard, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that people might find out about your ability if you keep acting so
recklessly like this?"
Without stopping, Harper simply replied, "Afraid? Why should I be afraid? There is nothing to be afraid of. Will you tell other
people? Will Fred tell other people? Or will the dead tell other people?"
Upon hearing her response, Howard couldn't say anything as he watched Harper walk out. However, the moment she stepped
out of that place, someone suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path. When she saw him, Harper respectfully bowed
her head and said, "Mister, I'm afraid you're blocking my way."
Harper's words gave Matthew a headache. If he hadn't asked about the situation from his secret guard, he believed that Harper
probably wouldn't tell him the truth about what happened today. She had even allowed that fake Harper to sit right next to him.
Because of that, he just couldn't take it anymore. "You broke your promise," he said.
"What are you talking about? I don't think I understand," Harper said, feigning ignorance as to what Matthew meant. Matthew, on
the other hand, was no patient man, so he didn't want to play along. Pulling her into his arms, he whispered into her ear, "It
matters not even if you don't understand. I will teach you a lesson once we go back and while we are lying on the bed!"
Meanwhile, in the Phoenix House, Nina looked at Harper who was busy reading a book by the table. Somehow, she felt that
something seemed to be quite amiss. But she just couldn't tell what it was.
"Your Highness, would you like me to help you bathe and change your clothes?" Nina then asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Harper raised her head and glanced at Nina before answering, "No. Go and check if Matthew has returned or not."
"Yes,"
Nina politely replied. With that, she turned around and walked out of the room. Anabel was outside guarding the door. When she
saw Nina come out, she asked at once, "Nina, is there something wrong?"

just stay here and look after Her Highness," Nina simply said. Although she could tell

report it to Matthew. When Nina went out to look for him, she found out that Matthew had just returned, carrying Harper in his arms. But due to the fact that Harper was wearing men's clothing as a disguise, Nina didn't recognize her right away. For that reason, she was taken aback when she saw him holding a strange man in his arms and couldn't believe her eyes. It seemed that she was at a bit of a loss because of everything that happened today. On one hand, Harper had been acting weird in the Phoenix House. On the other hand, Matthew was carrying a man in his arms. These things were just too hard to believe for Nina. Seeing Nina's reaction, Harper wanted to poke fun at

carrying a man in his arms.
After giving it much thought, Nina remembered Harper's unusual behavior back in the Phoenix House. With that, she
immediately said, "Your Highness, you'd better go back to the Phoenix House right away. Her Highness... She..." Nina trailed off,
hesitant to continue.
"Why? What's wrong with her?" Matthew asked in an indifferent tone. As Harper struggled to get down from his arms, Matthew
mumbled, "Stop moving, or else I wouldn't hesitate to teach you a lesson right here right now."
Nina looked at Matthew in great surprise when she heard him say those words. Then, she shifted her gaze toward the man in
Matthew's arms. Although she wasn't married yet, she was well aware of those things. After all, she had been serving Harper
even since she was a child, so she had heard Harper and Matthew flirt with each other a lot.
